July 1: Researching Experts and Judges

Judges and Experts are two of the key players in any litigation. A Judge has wide discretion in all facets of a case, and it is important to know their likes and dislikes. Just as critical is to investigate the Experts (including your own) involved in a case. This seminar looks at the various types of online resources that are available to investigate Judges and Experts, as well as tips and strategies on how that information might be utilized. This seminar will address how to use online resources to learn more about those individuals who hear your cases. Even if you are not the one who conducts the research, just knowing what resources are available may help you better prepare the presentation of your cases.

June 24: Artificial Intelligence for Lawyers: Ethical Concerns and Best Practices

Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) and other emerging technologies, while holding the promise of helping lawyers serve their clients efficiently and effectively, can also raise many complex ethical issues.

This seminar will focus on improving the ability of attorneys to understand Artificial Intelligence and the application of the Model Rules of Professional Conduct (the “Model Rules”) in leveraging Artificial Intelligence, with specific emphasis on the following:

June 19: Automation for the Reluctant Lawyer: No Jargon, No BS, Just Results

If you’ve ever been at your office drafting pleadings and watching the clock strike 10pm and thought, “there has to be a better way to do this,” you’re not alone. Many of us are drowning, and it’s hard to see a light at the end of the tunnel when our caseloads are ever increasing. This is exactly what automation is meant to alleviate for legal professionals.
In a nutshell, automation exists to help you eliminate repetitive tasks (think copying/pasting case captions, inserting the parties’ names in a final order, populating the cause number in a memo, assigning a deadline to a legal assistant, etc.). All of these tasks can add up and keep you from being able to leave the firm by 5pm. So, let’s forget the overcomplicated tech talk, and join attorney Jordan Turk as she takes you through a FREE CLE session designed for real lawyers with real caseloads, who need real solutions.
Come find out how your colleagues are harnessing the power of automation to get themselves more organized and more efficient so that they can spend more time actually working their cases.
‍In this free CLE webinar, you'll learn about:

• Document Automation – how to generate routine legal documents (pleadings, briefs, memos, letters, etc.) in minutes
• Workflow Automation – how to streamline law firm tasks (intake, case management, etc.) and never miss a deadline
• Real-World Tools – the best automation tools for law firms, from simple template builders to AI-driven solutions
• How to Get Started – Practical steps to start automating today, both with technology and manually.

Speaker:
Jordan Turk is a practicing attorney in Texas, and the Director of Attorney Education and Development at Smokeball. Her family law expertise includes complex property division and contentious custody cases, as well as appeals and prenuptial agreements. In addition to her family law practice, she’s passionate about legal technology and how it can revolutionize law firms.
Jordan graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a B.A. in Classics, History, and Religious Studies and then went on to attend the University of Arkansas School of Law to earn her J.D. After almost four years of practice with a high-asset family law firm in Houston (and after being frustrated at the lack of automation in her firm), she discovered the world of legal technology which ultimately brought her to Smokeball.
In Hacking Law Firm Success with Jordan Turk, she interviews law firm founders about how they grew and scaled their practices, as well as their ethos behind managing a firm.

July 16: The Grieving Attorney: Navigating Loss with Competence and Compassion

We are lawyers, but we are also human and as such, are subject to all the range of experiences that all people face at some point in their lives. Grief is one such experience. 

We may experience multiple types of loss over the course of our professional careers including the loss of health, a job, a marriage, and of those for whom we care, among many others. 

This CLE discusses what and how we grieve together with the types of grief and the grief journey. This is approached through the lens of attorney ethics because grief can significantly affect our diligence, responsiveness, and client communication, to name just a few of attorneys' job responsibilities. 

The applicable ethical rules will be discussed including ways to ethically navigate our many responsibilities as attorneys while grieving. We discuss why lawyers' grief may be compounded by the nature of our professional work and the unremitting demands that often accompany it. Finally, we'll discuss various ways we can hold space for that which we are grieving to give meaning to our changed circumstances.

September 16: Shielding the Carer: Understanding and Managing Secondary Trauma in the Legal Profession

This course is designed to educate attorneys about secondary traumatic stress and how it can adversely affect the attorney. 

It is based upon the understanding that working with traumatized individuals is part of many attorney’s professional practices. Indeed, many of us spend considerable time with victims of trauma, either learning their stories in person or through secondary sources like reports, photographs, recordings, interviews with others and through pretrial and trial testimony. These interactions can take a significant emotional toll of the professional, particularly with repeated exposure over time. 

This presentation will explain what secondary trauma is, explain other conditions including burnout, compassion fatigue, depression, anxiety and substance use disorder that can be the result of the stress we experience in repeatedly working with people's traumatic experiences. 

The purpose of this program is to assist attorneys in recognizing their exposure to other’s trauma and how that exposure can harm their ability to fulfill their obligations as attorneys. Finally, the presentation will give strategies for the individual and the institution to better equip themselves to handle the effects of working with this vulnerable population, in other words, how to employ strategies to “shield the carer” from the occupational hazard of working with other individual’s trauma. This includes consultation with LCL, EAPs and other resources that assist attorneys and their staff with these complicated issues.
